1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Introduction: Widespread implementation of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs)-namely the 7-valent PCV (PCV7), 10-valent pneumococcal non-typeable Methods: We systematically searched the literature for observational studies (2006-2020) on pneumococcal serotype distribution in IPD, AOM, and CAP among ≤5-year-old children post-PCV introduction. Serotype-specific pooled percentage averages were calculated by post-PCV period (post-PCV7 or pooled post-PHiD-CV/PCV13), or by PCV product (PHiD-CV or PCV13) to determine the contribution of each serotype to a certain clinical manifestation. Results: Our analysis of 86 studies (47 on IPD, 30 on AOM, and 9 on CAP) shows continued reporting of several vaccine serotypes in all clinical manifestations post-PHiD-CV/PCV13, particularly serotypes 19A, 3, and 1. In PCV13 settings, serotype 19A reporting was reduced but still prevalent compared to PHiD-CV settings. Predominant non-PCV13 serotypes varied by clinical manifestation. Conclusion: Post-PCV implementation, pneumococcal epidemiology in children is intricate. The persistence of some vaccine serotypes, variations across clinical manifestations, rising antimicrobial resistance, and other factors highlight the need for new vaccine technologies providing enhanced and broader protection to children.
